ConfigMgr 2012+ Version Numbers

as requested I’ve just listed all the ConfigMgr 2012 Released versions in a table below. We will do our best to keep this up to date as new updates are released. Note that the Client and Console versions will be exactly the same as the Release/Update version.

To see how to view the version see Matt’s earlier blog here. If you want to confirm a CU update see Neil’s blog here.

@Ronald
ConfigMgr 2012 SP2 and ConfigMgr 2012 R2 SP1 are actually the same version number which is version 5.00.8239.1000 build 8239. To get a better understanding of the recent upgrade refer to Ian’s blog below.

If I have multiple clients with version 5.00.7804.1000, what is my upgrade path going to be? I tried the R2 CU5, but i fails with error code 1642 which is:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer an
d that you have the correct upgrade patch."

Do I need to install a different client version first in order to upgrade?

@Ed Grant You should be installing whatever is the latest build version of your environment. The client should be able to upgrade previous versions but sometimes you may run into issues when you try to upgrade it. You can try to uninstall the previous
client using CCMSetup.exe /Uninstall before attempting to install the new R2 agent along with the CU5 hotfix. To troubleshoot look at the ccmsetup.log file situated in the WindowsccmsetupLogs folder

Hi Prajwal, We’re looking to upgrade from SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 to SCCM 1606. I already understand that we’ll need to upgrade to SCCM 1511 first and then to SCCM 1606, but I’m hoping we don’t have to update all our existing console and clients twice to do this. Can you go from SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 client and consoles directly to SCCM 1606 client and consoles?. Don’t want to wait after SCCM 1511 upgrade for clients to update to 1511 before we go to SCCM 1606.
